21:7. HE THAT OVERCOMETH (or
wins the victory) SHALL INHERIT (or receive) ALL THINGS (or all this); AND I
WILL BE HIS GOD, AND HE SHALL BE MY SON. Ref 2 Pe 2:19-22.

2-THE
SECOND DEATH

21:8. BUT THE FEARFUL (or cowardly),
AND UNBELIEVING (or untrustworthy), AND THE ABOMINABLE (or vile), AND MURDERERS,
AND WHOREMONGERS (or sexually immoral), AND SORCERERS (or those who misuse drugs
in connection with the occult-JNT190, or practice magic arts), AND
IDOLATERS (or idol-worshippers), AND ALL LIARS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE
LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH (or their
destiny is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, the second death-JNT191).

Rev
21:7. HE THAT OVERCOMETH (or
wins the victory)SHALL INHERIT
(or receive)ALLTHINGS (or all this). It is written, WHILE THEY PROMISE
THEM LIBERTY, THEY THEMSELVES ARE THE SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: FOR OF WHOM A
MAN IS OVERCOME, OF THE SAME IS HE BROUGHT IN BONDAGE. FOR IF AFTER THEY HAVE
ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS OF THE WORLD THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD AND SAVIOR
JESUS CHRIST, THEY ARE AGAIN ENTANGLED THEREIN, AND OVERCOME, THE LATTER END
IS WORSE WITH THEM THAN THE BEGINNING. FOR IT HAD BEEN BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO
HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAN, AFTER THEY HAVE KNOWN IT, TO TURN
FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT DELIVERED UNTO THEM. BUT IT IS HAPPENED UNTO THEM
ACCORDING TO THE TRUE PROVERB, THE DOG IS TURNED TO HIS OWN VOMIT AGAIN; AND
THE SOW THAT WAS WASHED TO HER WALLOWING IN THE MIRE-2 Pe 2:19-22. The reward
of overcoming is inheriting all things.Rev 21:7 continues,AND I WILL BE HIS GOD, AND
HE SHALL BEMY SON. For the one
that drinks of the water of life freely (even of Jesus) and overcomes, Jesus
will be His God, and he will be His son. This shows the wonderful, intimate
relationship between God and His people.

Rev
21:8. BUT THE FEARFUL
(or cowardly). This includes those that will not serve God or do His will, because
they are afraid as in Mt 25:14-30. This also includes those that are afraid
to receive Christ, because of embarrassment or shame. They are fearful of what
the world may think. AND UNBELIEVING
(or untrustworthy). The life of a true "believer" is, in essence,
Jesus Christ living through that person. As he grows in faith, he denies himself
and begins living a life that is yielded to letting Jesus reign over him. Grace
begins with faith in the Jesus Christ of the Bible. Grace reigns through righteousness,
which comes from obedience to the faith. For we receive GRACE...FOR OBEDIENCE
TO (or that comes from) THE FAITH-Ro 1:5; Ro 6:16-OBEDIENCE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS;
Ro 5:21-EVEN SO MIGHT GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO ETERNAL LIFE BY
JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.While many profess they believe
in Jesus Christ, there is no evidence of good fruit coming forth. There is no
evidence of their belief translating into faith or prompting them to obey God's
Word to deny themselves and follow Jesus. True belief will manifest itself as
the believer becomes a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.AND THE ABOMINABLE
(or vile),AND MURDERERS.
It is written, HE THAT SAITH HE IS IN THE LIGHT, AND HATETH HIS BROTHER, IS
IN DARKNESS EVEN UNTIL NOW. BUT HE THAT HATETH HIS BROTHER IS IN DARKNESS, AND
WALKETH IN DARKNESS, AND KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH, BECAUSE THAT DARKNESS
HATH BLINDED HIS EYES-1 Jn 2:9,11. WHOSOEVER HATETH HIS BROTHER IS A MURDERER:
AND YE KNOW THAT NO MURDERER HATH ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING IN HIM-1 Jn 3:15.AND WHOREMONGERS
(or sexually immoral). Sex outside of marriage is rampant worldwide.
Multiple wives are common in some parts of the world. Live-in relationships
(or shacking up), which is not marriage in the eyes of a Holy God, have become
commonplace. The sexually immoral (or whoremongers) commit fornication
and adultery, then wipe their mouth and say they have done no
wrong. Some even say, "I am a Christian; God will understand."AND SORCERERS
(or those who misuse drugs in connection with the occult-JNT,190
or practice magic arts). This also may indicate illegal drug use. The Bible
warns about them that DEFILE (or pollute) THE FLESH (or their bodies)-Jude 8.

3-SMOKING

The following verses can also apply to smoking. It is written,FOR AS YE HAVE YIELDED YOUR
MEMBERS SERVANTS TO UNCLEANNESS AND TO INIQUITY UNTO INIQUITY; EVEN SO NOW
YIELD YOUR MEMBERS SERVANTS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS. NEITHER YIELD
YE YOUR MEMBERS AS INSTRUMENTS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO SIN: BUT YIELD YOURSELVES
UNTO GOD, AS THOSE THAT ARE ALIVE FROM THE DEAD, AND YOUR MEMBERS AS
INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO GOD. KNOW YE NOT, THAT TO WHOM YE YIELD
YOURSELVES SERVANTS TO OBEY, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE TO WHOM YE OBEY; WHETHER OF
SIN UNTO DEATH, OR OF OBEDIENCE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS?-Ro 6:19,13,16.THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION
TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT
AFTER THE SPIRIT. FOR THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE FLESH DO MIND THE THINGS OF
THE FLESH; BUT THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE SPIRIT, THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT.
FOR TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH; BUT TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED IS LIFE
AND PEACE. BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS ENMITY AGAINST GOD: FOR IT IS NOT
SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD, NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. FOR IF YE LIVE AFTER THE
FLESH, YE SHALL DIE: BUT IF YE THROUGH THE SPIRIT DO MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF
THE BODY, YE SHALL LIVE. FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY
ARE THE SONS OF GOD-Ro 8:1,5-7,13,14.I BESEECH YOU THEREFORE, BRETHREN,
BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, THAT YE PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY,
ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE. AND BE NOT CONFORMED
TO THIS WORLD: BUT BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND,
THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THAT GOOD, AND ACCEPTABLE, AND PERFECT, WILL OF GOD.
BUT PUT YE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND MAKE NOT PROVISION FOR THE FLESH,
TO FULFILL THE LUSTS THEREOF-Ro 12:1,2; 13:14.KNOW YE NOT THAT YE ARE THE
TEMPLE OF GOD, AND THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU? IF ANY MAN DEFILE
(or destroys) THE TEMPLE OF GOD, HIM SHALL GOD DESTROY; FOR THE TEMPLE OF
GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE. LET NO MAN DECEIVE HIMSELF-1 Cor 3:16-18.FOR...YE ARE GOD’S BUILDING-1
Cor 3:9.KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODIES
ARE THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE
HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN?-1
Cor 6:15,19.FOR THE FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST
THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT AGAINST THE FLESH: AND THESE ARE CONTRARY THE ONE
TO THE OTHER: SO THAT YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD-Gal 5:17.FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE:
THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD’S-1
Cor 6:20.AS OBEDIENT CHILDREN, NOT
FASHIONING YOURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE FORMER LUSTS IN YOUR IGNORANCE-1
Pe 1:14.AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S
HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS-Gal 5:24.FOR HE THAT SOWETH TO HIS
FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; BUT HE THAT SOWETH TO THE SPIRIT
SHALL OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING-Gal 6:8.

AFFECTIONS (or passions) AND LUSTS (or desires)-Gal 5:24.

Rev
21:8 continues,AND IDOLATERS
(or idol-worshippers). Idols can also include possessions. In some cases, one
becomes his own idol. This is especially true of stubborn people, for stubbornness
is as iniquity and idolatry-ref 1 Sam 15:23. This also includes covetousness,
which is idolatry-ref Col 3:5.AND ALL LIARS.
In this Laodicean church age, lying has become commonplace. People often do
not watch what they say; this includes preachers. People seldom say, "If
the Lord will." They make bold, prideful statements as if it were nothing,
without considering the consequences. It is written, EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN
SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT-Mt 12:36.
And also, A RIGHTEOUS MAN HATETH LYING-Pv 13:5.IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE NOT
SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR, AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US-1 Jn 1:10.HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT GOD HATH
MADE HIM A LIAR; BECAUSE HE BELIEVETH NOT THE RECORD THAT GOD GAVE OF HIS SON-1
Jn 5:10.HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM,
AND KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS, IS A LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM-1 Jn
2:4.WHO IS A LIAR BUT HE THAT DENIETH
THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST?-1 Jn 2:22.IF A MAN SAY, I LOVE GOD, AND
HATETH HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR-1 Jn 4:20.It is also written, A LIAR
GIVETH EAR TO A NAUGHTY TONGUE-Pv 17:4.A POOR MAN IS BETTER THAN A
LIAR-Pv 19:22.ADD THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS,
LEST HE REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND A LIAR-Pv 30:6.WHEREFORE PUTTING AWAY LYING,
SPEAK EVERY MAN TRUTH WITH HIS NEIGHBOR: FOR WE ARE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER-Eph
4:25.THE DEVIL...HE IS A LIAR, AND
THE FATHER OF IT-Jn 8:44.LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY
MAN A LIAR-Ro 3:4.Rev 21:8 continues. All theseSHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN
THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH
(or their destiny is the lake burning with fire and sulfur, the second death-JNT191).
